The Autumn Winter 2023 runway was filtrated with everything quiet luxury. Like we say in many of our recent articles, quiet luxury or minimalism in other words is what we all are gearing towards nowadays, and the way it translates in fashion is just far from anything over the top or extravagant. Yet, the quality of materials used in making these bags is hands down the best, hence making these bags hero fashion pieces in the accessory realm. The minimalist approach in making these bags makes them not boring, the exquisite craftsmanship invested in them makes them a bag trend you will carry forever because they will remain trendy forever.
This sensibility that was naturally filtered into the AW’23 bag trends that make them timeless is what we will be looking at in today’s article. First, the ‘Red Bags’ were commonly spotted on the runway, which makes them a number one trend to keep an eye on, and brands like Ferragamo have a beautiful take on this trend that screams quiet luxury. I know, you’re probably tired of hearing the word ‘Quiet Luxury’ because it’s a word that’s gone viral but the truth is, the word can’t be disguised in its world that we are. We sometimes phrase our words differently to avoid saying ‘Quiet Luxury’ but however you choose to describe it, the Ferragamo Hug Bag is a discrete way to say the word. The bag is made with the finest leather, contoured in the right places to exude elegance, and the signature Gancini buckles make it timeless.

2. Top Hand Bag
Although may sound like something we’ve heard before and that’s to tell you they are here to stay, it won’t go without saying top-handle bags are taking a huge stride this season and the way Prada has translated the bag trend is worth paying attention to. Top-handle bags are structured lady-like accessories that have staying power in any wardrobe, again another quiet luxury bag that will fit any night occasion look.

3. Chain Handle Bags
Chain handle bags have been around since the 20s, thanks to Gabrielle Coco Chanel who introduced the first ever classic chain bag, she went on interpreting it into the quilted version, a bag that has found a place in the hearts of many, starting with celebrities. Now in AW’23 Loewe’s take on the comeback chain bag is just a way to enjoy fashion now. The Loewe Squeeze Bag is not a version of Chanel’s but an addition to your chain bag collection, it’s another way to have fun with the chain handle bag, the brand kept a vintage design adding a modern ruched touch to it hence making it a timeless cult find.

4 The Clutch Bag
Clutch bags are back if you remember the early days of Bottega Veneta’s oversized clutch days, they’ve probably all collapsed now in the wardrobe having pushed them back to the back of the wardrobe since no one was talking about them anymore. Well, may I announce to you that the clutch bags are back? This time the more vintage they look the better. Thanks to MiuMiu who designed its own in tan leather, and trending bags as we know how they run out so quickly, a good alternative was found at Victoria Beckham which also carries the same modern vintage vibe.

5. Ball Bags
The new season has called for new bag trends that include silvery bags, slouch bags, bucket bags, and oversized totes but amongst these other trendy bags that stood out is the ball bag. I would love to say it’s a bag trend that will stay but I guess it’s what trend does to you, you get the jolt but depreciate as time goes by. This I believe the ball bag trend is, it’s a bag trend I believe we will enjoy to the optimal now that’s trending but will wear out eventually. Bottega Veneta has the best iteration right now, with quality leather, vintage woven design, and minimal finishing touches that will add an edge to an overall style look.
